<p><strong>Community: </strong>What does "community" mean to urban dwellers today? In contrast to the car-dominated thinking from the 1960s (suburbs, malls), we are now seeing a return to earlier forms of urban design in an attempt to recreate a friendlier and more connected urban experience &ndash; one that contributes to a sense of community. Can design foster a sense of connection and belonging? Do we really want to know our neighbours?</p>=0D=0A=
